In an attempt to recreate the original film and get the ‘80s era back, Sajid Khan and dialogue writers Sajid-Farhad have gone over the top and the result is anything but funny!

One of the prime factors for (original) Himmatwala’s success, besides Bappi Lahiri’s evergreen music, was certainly the dialogues penned by the living legend – Kader Khan! And thirty years later, funny man Sajid Khan settled for his favourite and one of the most sought after writer duo in B-town – Sajid-Farhad – to tickle the audiences’ funny bone.

Before Himmatwala’s release, Sajid Khan had said that his film is a homage to Kader Khan saab, but we really wonder if it does pay tribute to Khan saab’s trademark satire and mannerisms with dialogues like Kaan ke neeche bajake Kanpur bana de, Shareer ka ek ek hissa chilla raha hai – Bharat bandh and Aap gutter hai toh main uska ganda paani hoon, though the versatile Paresh Rawal has made a decent effort to step into Khan’s shoes. Agreed… Kader Khan’s hysterical comedy worked big time then, but considering the fact that Sajid’s ‘rewrite’ has come after 30 years, the filmmaker and the dialogue writers should’ve taken utmost care as far as the dialogue department is concerned.
